Students are responsible for understanding the assigned work. If there is any doubt about the assignment or if the

up missed work.
Make-up is to be done before or after school not during class time.
Excessive absences & tardies may affect your grade.
All make up work from suspensions must be turned in the day you return.
Students are expected to stay in assigned seats unless otherwise specified. Conversation with other students should
be art related. Disruptive behavior will not be tolerated.

Grading
1. The quarter grade will result from adding all class assignments, quizzes, tests and studio points earned by following
the class rules.
2. First quarter points are added to second quarter to get the semester points and grade.
3. It is possible to pass the course by never doing more than the minimum requirement, but extra time spent in class
results in more participation points. Be sure to sign the log-in sheet.
4. Keep all graded assignments to check accuracy of grades, should any differences occur, the grade slip must be
shown to the teacher for correction.
5. Students are expected to show continuous improvement in the work submitted for grades.

We will use Making the Grade and upload a minimum of two scores once a week.
Teachers will assess student learning in a variety of ways over time.
The progress report grade will be reported as a letter grade based on the following
